This is perhaps one of the cleanest hotel rooms I’ve ever stayed in. The beds are very comfortable and the shower is powerful. The staff is friendly and the room was cleaned every day! Much better than anticipated!

This was a fine place for us to stay within 2 blocks of Duke University Hospital. The staff were extremely nice and worked with us on our nightly stay as we didn't know how long we would be there. Free coffee downstairs and the room was huge! I have no complaints about the University Inn Durham.

One of the cleanest hotels I have ever stayed at and very friendly and accommodating staff. Only thing I missed was an in room coffee maker even though the room had a kitchette. They provide complimentary coffee but u have to go down to the lobby
